WARNINGS 
Your vehicle has a higher ground  
clearance and hence,   a higher centre of  
gravity than ordina  ry passenger cars,  
to enable the vehicle to perform in a wide  
variety of off-road app  lications. An advantage  
of the higher ground clea  rance is a better view  
of the road allowing   you to anticipate  
problems. 
The vehicle is not designed for  
cornering at the same speed as  
conventional passenge  r cars any more  
than a low-slung sports car is designed to 
perform satisfactori  ly under off-road  
conditions. If at all possible, avoid sharp turns  
or abrupt manoeuvres. As   with other vehicles  
of this type, failure to operate the vehicle  
correctly may result in   loss of control or  
vehicle roll-over.  
The vehicle should no  t be parked over  
long dry grass or other combustible  
material, particul  arly during dry  
weather. As the heat ge  nerated by the exhaust  
and emission control systems may be  
sufficient to start a fire. 
Before exiting the vehicle ensure that   P  
park is selected and the park brake 
applied. When exiting the vehicle  
ensure that the remote control is removed  
from the vehicle.

Driving hintsGENERAL DRIVING POINTS
Battery charging - red 
Illuminates as a bulb check when  
the ignition is turned on and  
extinguishes once the engine is  
running. If it remains on,   or illuminates whilst  
driving, a fault with the battery charging 
system is indicated. Seek qualified assistance  
urgently.
Low oil pressure - red
Illuminates as a bulb check when 
the ignition is turned on and  
extinguishes when the engine is 
started. If the indicator remains on, flashes on  
and off, or illuminates whilst driving, stop the  
vehicle as soon as safety   permits and switch  
off the engine immediat  ely. Seek qualified  
assistance before driving. Always check the oil  
level when this indicator illuminates.
REDUCED ENGINE PERFORMANCE
Engine management syst  em (EMS) fault
Illuminates amber in the  
instrument pack when the engine  
management system detects a  
serious fault - reduce  d performance may be  
experienced. Avoid high speeds and consult  
your Land Rover Dealer/A  uthorised Repairer as  
soon as possible.
Check engine - petrol models only
 Illuminates amber in the 
instrument pack as a bulb and 
system check when the starter  
switch is turned on and extinguishes as soon  
as the engine is starte  d. Illumination at any  
other time indicates   that the emission  
performance of the   engine management  
system is impaired - seek qualified assistance.  
If the indicator flashes while driving,  
immediately reduce e  ngine power to avoid  
catalytic converter damage.
RUNNING-IN
The engine, gearbox, tyre  s, and brakes need  
time to bed-in. During the first 800 km (500  
miles) it is essential th  at the vehicle is driven  
with consideration for the running-in process.  
During the running in period the following  
advice should be followed. 
•  Limit the engine speed to a maximum of  
3000 rpm, and the road speed to a 
maximum of 110 km/h (68 mph). 
•  Do not use full accelerator pedal travel, and  
use the gears to avoid over-revving or  
labouring the engine. 
•  Do not use sport mode during the running  
in period. 
•  Avoid rapid accelerati on or heavy braking  
wherever possible. 
•  Ensure that servicing is carried out on  
time, and follow any advice regarding use  
in arduous conditions. 
Note:   The advice given for running in will aid  
fuel economy, and s  hould be adopted as  
general driving practice   even after the running  
in period.

ECONOMICAL DRIVING
There are two main factors which influence fuel  
economy, the way the vehicle is driven, and  
maintenance.
Driving tips for economy
•  Avoid unnecessary jour neys, especially  
short stop-start trips. 
•  Accelerate smoothly  and gently from a  
stand still. 
•  Use the gears to avoid labouring, or  
over-revving the engine. 
•  Allow time to brake  gently and smoothly. 
•  Be aware of traffic and road conditions  
ahead, and take action in time to avoid 
hard braking or acceleration. 
•  When stationary apply the park brake, and  
select neutral. 
•  Turn off the air conditioning when not  
needed.
Maintenance and fuel economy
Regular servicing by a Land Rover 
Dealer/Approved repairer, along with regular  
checks by the driver are essential for vehicle  
longevity and fuel economy. 
The condition of the engine   (oils, filters, spark  
plugs, settings etc) tyre   pressures, and wheel  
alignment, will all have a bearing on fuel 
economy. For this reason it is essential that the  
vehicle is checked regularly by the driver, and  
serviced by an approved Land Rover 
Dealer/Authorised Repairer at the correct  
intervals. 
Note:   If you are in any doubt about the  
maintenance requirement  s, intervals, or  
checks required, contact your Land Rover  
Dealer/Authorised repairer for advice. 

151
Towing
R
LEVELLING
To maintain vehicle stability, it is essential that  
the trailer is loaded so that it remains parallel to 
the ground. This is partic  ularly important when  
towing twin axled trailers.
ESSENTIAL TOWING CHECKS
•  The trailer should be pa rallel to the ground  
when loaded. 
•  When calculating the laden weight of the  
trailer remember to include the weight of 
the trailer, plus the weight of the load. 
•  If the load can be divided between the  
vehicle and trailer,   loading more weight  
into the vehicle will generally improve  
stability. Do not exceed the vehicle's 
weight limits.  See   WEIGHTS (page 212). 
•  Ensure that all applic able regulations and  
legislation are complied with when loading  
and towing a trailer. 
•  Increase rear tyre pressures of the towing  
vehicle to those for maximum vehicle  
loading conditions.  See   WEIGHTS  
(page 212). 
•  Ensure trailer tyre pressures are set to  
trailer manufacture  r's recommendations. 
•  If the vehicle is loaded to maximum Gross  
Vehicle Weight (GVW)   the nose weight is  
limited to 150 kg (330 lbs).  • 
If it is necessary to increase the nose  
weight, up to a maximum of 250 kg (550 
lbs) the vehicle load should be reduced  
accordingly. This ensures that the GVW,  
and maximum rear axle load are not 
exceeded. 
•  Ensure that a suitable breakaway cable or  
secondary coupling is used. Refer to the  
trailer manufacturer'  s instructions for  
guidance. 
•  Ensure that the tow ball is secure. 
•  Check the operation of all trailer lights.
E82250
WARNING 
Do not loop the breakaway cable over  
the tow ball as it may slide off. 

Maintenance
158
L
One or both types of serv ice interval (distance  
and time) may be displayed. For example, if an  
engine oil service is du  e based on mileage, and  
a brake fluid change is due based on time, both  
distance and time c  ountdowns will display.
Service Portfolio
The Service Portfolio  book includes a Service  
Record section, which enables a record to be 
kept of all the servicing and inspections that are  
carried out on the vehicle. This section of the  
book also has an area for brake fluid changes 
to be recorded. 
Ensure your service provider signs and stamps  
the book after each se  rvice and inspection.
Owner Maintenance
In addition to the routine maintenance, a  
number of simple checks must be carried out  
more frequently. Advice   is given on the pages  
that follow. 
Daily checks 
•  Operation of lamps, horn, direction  
indicators, wipers, washers and warning  
indicators. 
•  Operation of seat belts and brakes. 
•  Look for fluid deposits underneath the  
vehicle that might indicate a leak. 
Weekly checks 
•  Engine oil level.  See  ENGINE OIL CHECK  
(page 162). 
•  Engine coolant check.  See  ENGINE  
COOLANT CHECK   (page 163). 
•  Brake/clutch fluid level.  See  BRAKE AND  
CLUTCH FLUID CHECK   (page 165).  • 
Power steering fluid level.  See  POWER  
STEERING FLUID CHECK   (page 166). 
•  Screen washer fluid level.  See  WASHER  
FLUID CHECK   (page 167). 
•  Tyre pressure s and condition. 
•  Operate air conditioning. 
Note:   The engine oil leve l should be checked  
more frequently if the vehicle is driven for 
prolonged periods at high speeds.
Driving in arduous conditions
When a vehicle is operated in extremely 
arduous conditions, more frequent attention  
must be paid to servicing requirements. 
For example, if your vehicle experiences deep  
wading conditions, even daily servicing could  
be necessary to ensure   the continued safe and  
reliable operation of the vehicle. 
Arduous driving conditions include: 
•  Driving in dusty and/or sandy conditions. 
•  Driving on rough and/or muddy roads  
and/or wading. 
•  Driving in extremely hot conditions. 
•  Towing a trailer or driving in mountainous  
conditions. 
Contact a Land Rover Dealer/Authorised  
Repairer for advice.
Emission control
Your vehicle is fitted with various items of 
emission and evaporative control equipment,  
designed to meet sp  ecific territorial  
requirements. You should be aware that 
unauthorised replacemen  t, modification or  
tampering with this equipment by an owner or  
repair shop, may be unlawful and subject to 
legal penalties.
CAUTION 
Any significant or sudden drop in fluid  
levels, or uneven tyre wear, should be  
reported to a qualified technician without 
delay.
